screensaver.xbmc.builtin.slideshow and picture plugin with param - smuto - 2012-03-15
i use my plugin.image.artistmultifanart as a Image Folder
I read somewhere on the forum that multiimage control will get refreshed when path to images will change,
so i write my plugin to use it with params like this
plugin://plugin.image.artistmultifanart/?name=$INFO[MusicPlayer.Artist]
Can I do something similar with screensaver.xbmc.builtin.slideshow

Unfortunately no.
I wish the same for my Big Pictures Addon - but the screensaver settings dialog can only browse physical folders - not plugin's VFS.
But you can manual edit the screensaver's addon_data/.../settings.xml to use it - then it works.

no this kind of problem here
problem is to clear & add new items to sledeshow when Artist is changed

Thanks! I didn't knew that (I also used the Reputation button
).So i wanted to help you but instead you solved one of my problems - fine.
Now i get your problem, but can't answer. I guess the folder is resolved on screensaver start - but not re-resolved on artist-change, correct?
RE: screensaver.xbmc.builtin.slideshow and picture plugin with param - smuto - 2012-03-15
yes
you see this is working in multiimage control
<control type="multiimage">
..
<imagepath background="true">plugin://plugin.image.artistmultifanart/?name=$INFO[MusicPlayer.Title]</imagepath>
..
</control>
in screensaver.xbmc.builtin.slideshow even if i manualy edit the screensaver's addon_data/.../settings.xml to
<setting id="path" value="plugin://plugin.image.artistmultifanart/?name=$INFO[MusicPlayer.Title]" />
i have all time first folder
you need to press the button on the remote to refresh
